4th Mar: SR West Country No. 34046 'Braunton' The Golden Arrow (Saphos Trains) 1Z12 0522 Birmingham International to Canterbury West. My first steam shot in 2023 went marginally well. Good news was that Braunton started to steam as she rounded the curve of the junction. Bad news was that the steam was streaming towards wrong way ! I could not remember when was the last time I visited to the Otford Junction. I thought it was 7 or 8 years ago but I found I visited there on 14th Feb 18 to capture the last run of No. 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' (one before was No. 70000 'Britannia' on 9th Oct 15 which is about 7 and half years ago). Class 47 No. 47810 was on the rear. Otford Junction.
